A biography for Marjorie Liuhasn’t been written yet.
“I love writing romance, along with science fiction and fantasy - and my books usually meld all three to some degree.”
“Male heroes are entitled to particular privileges, and why not the women as well?”
“We imagine 'the end' as a world-devastating event, but every time there's a terrible earthquake, a tsunami, an outbreak of disease - that's apocalyptic, on a micro-scale.”
“Growing up as Chinese-American, as someone who experienced racism, questions of 'otherness' are always at the forefront of my mind.”
“I love writing novels, but there is something deeply invigorating about the comic-book medium.”
“Most of the female 'superhero' role models of my childhood came from novels, and they rarely had powers. Take Dorothy, for example, from 'The Wizard of Oz;' or Laura Ingalls and her sisters in the 'Little House on the Prairie' novels.”
“If you tell people what everything is before they have a chance to experience it, then I feel like it's a much different experience.”
“Because there are almost no men in 'Monstress,' we're focused completely on women. It's removed from traditional structures.”
“My solo series, in some ways, have been rarely truly solo.”
“I don't think X-23's past is the most interesting thing about her, but it's not like she can escape it, either.”
“I think we worry way too much about where books should fit inside genres. In a romance, the hero and heroine are on a journey together, and no matter how awful it gets, by the end of the book they'll be in love, with the probability of a happy ending.”
“In my solo series, I feel like I've often dealt with groups of people.”
